The former world champion from Spain had on Thursday, April 14 been cleared to race for the first Friday practice session.

He had been told to report back to the F1 medical team and was swiftly cleared to race following a trouble free practice session.

Alonso had missed the second race of the F1 season in Bahrain following his insane crash during the race in Australia where his car had gone flying into a wall following a collision with the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez.
